YANNIER IS ACTUAL NUMBER OF EXPEDITIONARY FORCES ABROAD Is Regularly Enlisted in the U. S. Signal Corps, as Telephone ()peva- tor; Trained For Service at Scran- ton School; Was Employe of the 11(.11 Telephone Company. Mary E. Vannier, the first Butte girl to be an actual membe• of the American expeditionary forces in France, has landed over there, ac- cording to word just received. Miss i Vaunter is a supervisor in a unit of 60 telephone operators which em- barked three weeks ago from. an Atlantic port and which is composed of young women regularly enlisted in the United States signal corps. Miss Vannier's unit was trained In Scraton, Pa., for service abroad, and out of 8,000 applicants only 650 were selected. The highest physical quail- f'satiobs were demanded, and only those who were proficient in French were (asst.... In addition they were requilad h nrove their courage and loyalty, Mies Vannier wrote home that she pease(' the teats \shooting and flying,\ and hee statement is supported by the fact that she was chosen one of the five supervisors. This Butte soldier received her training as a switchboard operator at the exchange Of the old Indep 'dent Telephone company. Later she was bookkeeper for the Bell Tele- phone company, and then went to Helena to work in a department store. She volunteered for service while living in the capital city. Of Miss Vannier's unit, 16 young women are from California, 13 from New York, 11 from Washington, 3 front Rhode Island, 4 from Massa- chusetts, 2 from Utah, 2 from Can- ada, 2 from Michigan and 1 each from Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maine, Oregon, New Hampshire and Wash- ington, D. C. Miss Vannier Is the only Montana girl in the unit. Of Preach Descent The majority of members of the unit are of French descent. Run- ning down the list of names, one finds the following: Irma Armanet, Marguerite Chenot, Vivienne Hamel, Germaine Lamontagne, Jeanne 'Le- gallet, Aurelie Limier and Eglantine Nioussu; but the irrepressible nation- ality is also represented by Mary O'Rourke and Agnes Burke. Referring to this unit. a Scran- ton newspaper recently said: \The girls at present in Scranton are as bright and jolly a lot of maid- ens as could be found in any sem- inary. They have a good time among themselves, but the Scranton swell who imagines that it is possible to make a mash on one of these dam- sels is In for a surprise if he ever attempts it. They are under strict orders in this matter, and when passing on the street will give more notice to a poodle dog than would be bestowed upon the ogling cox- comb who endeavors to attract their attention. \Some of the girls, evidently Can- adians, are musicians and perform on strange string instruments. But it is to their credit that the pestifer- ous ukelele is not one of their favor- ites. If they can escape the ukelele mania, these heroines will prove again that the temptations of she states have no influence on them. \The little girls in black are on a par with the Red Cross nurses.' They are going to do all in their power to aid the fighting men across the seas and help win the war for freedom.\ CARGO OF BOOZE GRABBED ON TRAIN TWO GET -RICH -QUICK ARTISTS, NOW I,ANGUISIT IN DIL711A NCE AT SUPERIOR Two shipments Consisting of 748 1 ' Quarts, Camouflaged to Represent I Vinegar, Are Seized by Officers!

The . larger shipment comprised 69-1' quarts, which are charged against, Oliver. The booze was confiscated' in camouflaged packages in an ea - press car at Saltese; just this sidej of the Idaho line, where: the men were arrested. Oliver and Casey will he held in' jail until the next grand jury term of the U. S. district court. Some Profiteering At the retail market price of Sun- nybrook, $3 per quart. the whiskey represents a commercial value of $2,244. Calculating that the men would have been content with not less than $5 per quart profit—as- suming the fact to be that they in- tended ehe -liquor for sale in \dry\ territory, their profits would have been in the neighborhood of $4,000, and this would have been for a pe- riod of a month, judging from the ready sale \red likker\ has hi Sa- haran territory these days. Behold the coining of the sere and yellow (la)s of the civilian \ statesman. 'The public servants of tomorrow are %%inning glory and political future on the bat- tlefields of Flanders. When the victorious American troops come marching home they will take political possession of these Uni- ted States. The man who •has not fought, no matter what his abilities may be, will have but little to do with affairs of state, except such tasks as the hewing of the political wood and the drawing of political water. It will he the old story of the Grand Army of the Republic over again. For a quarter of a century:after the great civil war ended every elected president of the republic had ‘Norli the stars Id a general of fighting service. The minor offices n.ent much the Sallie way.

Figure it out for yourself. The war, as far as we are concerned, is little more than it year old. Montana nos 32,000 men with the colors. If tlw conflict lasts, as is probable, and the United States raises an army of -1,000,- 000 soldiers, which is a certain- ty if the war goes on three more years, this state will put from 60,000 to 75,00() men in the ser- vice. And in these days of equal suffrage this figure would mean 160,000 votes. The civilian who manages to break through this political army would be a great- er man than was George Wash- ington himself. So this forthcoming election may be one of the last chances of the civilian. The mall or woman who is chosen to represent Montana In the United States senate this fall may be the last civilian statesman to sit in that august body. It is possible that this soldier regime will not take over its own until, the expiration of Sena- tor Myers' term, but it is coming. as sure as death and taxes., So this being one of the last civil- ian contests, in this fight for the senatorship, interest will be acute. The po'Ssibilities mentioned thus far are as follows: Governor S. V. Stewart of Ma- dison, democrat. 'Former Governor Edwin L. Norris of Cascade, democrat. State C 'Reclean .1. Bruce Kremer of Silver Bow, demo- crat. Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin, of Missoula, republican. Dr. ()scar af. finest/amt. of Lewis and Clark, repubilean. Senator 'T..1.

Don't tell any one, but at the convention Of (Ninthly attorneys of Montana at Livingston last week, they had mine at the banquet given for the lawyers. At that, there was no particular scandal about it, for the Wine in question had an important part in the convention program—made a speech. in fact. County Attorney Jbseph R. Jackson of Silver Bow county, remarked that he had heard of whiskey talking before, and he supposed that it was reasoneble to suppose that thilvintage of the grape mould also be ol r ater!cal. The Wine that got among the law- yers was Deputy County Attorney - J. R. Wine.

Senator 7. J. Walsh. the expira- tion of wliesc term of office makes possibilities, is a candidate to sue- ceel himself. Eye!!! those who would oppose him concede that he has much strength in his party. He is a very able MR in his profession of the hams', and before going Into politics enjoyed a large practice. His name has been frequently mentioned as a esbinet possibility, and it was at one time thought that President Wil- son intended to appoint hint attor- ney general, a post that his abilities equip him well to fill. During the last presidential campaign he had charge of western headquarters of the democratic party, and under his management such republican states as California and Colorado, and all the doubtful states of the west like Montana, swung into the democratic column and actually elected the pre- sident, an achievement that attract- ed much attention. Governor Stewart is being urged to make the race. The governor en - entry, Butte went against the gov- ernor because he called out tiw troops to suppress riots anti destruc- tion of property.
